This disabled teenager who dreamed of becoming a skateboarding star can now finally perform tricks - after receiving his first prosthetic leg. Alrey, 13, was born without a right foot and his lower leg not was not properly former due to a congenital defect. He needed a crutch to walk and was teased by classmates who bullied him by hiding his pens during his classes at his school in Iligan City, Philippines. But after his mother walked out on the family last year, Alrey persuaded his father to let him have a skateboard, like his friends had. He finally received a prosthetic limb in August, and now just two months later, the teenager can whizz around the ramps, grind rails, and jump down steps at his local skatepark.
